Speculation re Go Outdoors

JD Sports Fashion Plc (the 'Group') notes the speculation with regards to the filing of a Notice of Intention to appoint Administrators ('Notice') at Go Outdoors ('Go').

 

The Group can confirm that it has considered a number of strategic options for Go and that Go's directors have lodged the Notice in Court. This Notice creates an immediate moratorium around the company and its property which lasts for ten business days. During this moratorium, Go's creditors cannot take legal action or continue with any existing legal proceedings against the company without the Court's permission.

 

Administrators have not yet been appointed and the Group will make no further comment at this time.
